James Joyce penned this story in a letter to his four-year-old grandson Stephen (“Stevie”). It is commonly known as “The Cat and the Devil.” However, it is also known as “The Cat of Beaugency.” The letter of 10 August 1936, where it was first told, begins:
“My dear Stevie: I sent you a little cat filled with sweets a few days ago but perhaps you do not know the story about the cat of Beaugency”.
This marvellous story has been brought to life by Morgan Cooke, Zita Monaghan McGowan and Molly Mew.
The event is free and open to the public. There will be sitting and standing room available.
